When Ben ( Nicolas Cage ) and Abigail ( Diane Kruger ) visit the White House, Ben gets into a confrontation with a small boy. When the boy goes to leave, he can be seen curling the index finger on his left hand. In another Disney movie, The Kid (2000) , with Bruce Willis , this finger curl is a trait of the young Russ Duritz, played by Spencer Breslin . This movie was also directed by Jon Turteltaub, and the finger curl is a sign of annoyance. See more »

When Ben and Riley are in Paris and flying the toy chopper you can see the Eiffel Tower on the screen on Riley's control. In the next scene when Ben talks with the French police you can see the Eiffel Tower on the other side of the bridge. See more »
It was a good movie but not as good as the first one. I think that its just the same story as the first one with very little changes. Treasure hunter Ben Gates tries to clean its name by looking for an ancient treasure. The first half of the movie is kinda slow and even tiresome, too much talking and very little action. But it gets better on the second part towards to the end. The cast is excellent, Nicolas Cage in a role he knows very well, Jon Voight as Cage fathers is very convincing, Ed Harris is the bad guy that the only thing he wants is to find the treasure and keep it to himself, Harvey Keitel as an FBI agent wit a brief but convincing performance and Helen Mirren as Nicola's mother with a good and even funny performance. Although this movie isn't the greatest thing, it is very enjoyable and entertaining, perfect to spend some time with the family.
